In the House Of Representatives, as at
present constituted, the Republicans have
a majority of the delegation in nineteen
States-just one short of majority. The
Democrats control seventeen States. New
Hampshire is tied. There is a vacancy
in Rhode Island, which is to be filled by
a special election in November.
In case of failure to elect a President
in the electoral college, it would devolve
upon the House of Representatives to
choose President from the three candi
dates that received the highest votes,
each State casting one vote, so that the
special election in little Rhode Island will
be looked to with interest, when it is re-
membered how close the vote in the
electoral college often is.

with rough and very bright colOred fabrics.
The whilom craze for japanese decorations
has rather died out, but bedroom or bou-

the Japanere fashion is always thing OF
beauty.

far better
Thin screens Of wood cut into intricate ara
